Abstract:

This paper explores the similarities between industrial music and ‘cyberpunk’ science fiction literature. Besides the obvious instances where there are direct references to each other, there are further connections between music and literature that are explored here. Situating the two forms within the tradition of twentieth-century Western dystopias, the focus of the paper is on the similarity of themes (relationship to technology, control by a totalitarian elite, apocalyptic worlds, resistance groups), techniques (in language or structure), moods (the tones and attitudes), and imagery (through language or music) used to illustrate and enhance these themes.

Abstract:

Currently, the reading interest of the Indonesian people is very low. This phenomenon is happening because most people spend their time surfing on social media, especially Twitter or X than reading physical books. The world of literacy was also shifted by the emergence of online fiction stories such as the Alternate Universe (AU) interesting to research. The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze the reasons why many people choose Alternate Universe (AU) rather than physical books. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data source came from questionnaires disseminated via Twitter and randomly sampled. This study's results explain that AU stories attract readers because of their various genres, models, appearances, and creativity. No wonder many people are more interested in reading AU than physical books.

Abstract:

This article investigates students’ reading materials, reasons for reading journal articles, and strategies in handling its difficulties. The data was collected by the use of qualitative method with structured interview. A number of eight students were purposely selected as the participants of this study, each representing eight different units studying in the seventh semester at a university in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. In analyzing the data, this research employed the qualitative descriptive analysis of data organization, data examination and data explanation. The findings showed that the favorite reading materials for students are website articles and social media captions, followed by non-fiction readings and newspapers. It is also found that preparing assignment is the utmost popular reason for reading journal articles for the students. Students also said that looking up in dictionary, internet surfing, consulting friends and lecturers, more practices, predicting the meaning of the words, and partial reading were some strategies they used to tackle the problems of reading journal articles. The implication of this study can be of actual practice to the academic reading course and curriculum and material development, especially for future improvement on students’ reading performance and proficiency.

Abstract:

Themes of Nature and humanity's abuse of it have long featured in Margaret Atwood's works: poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The author is an environmental activist herself, taking an active interest in current environmental and climate change issues. From one of her earliest novels Surfacing (1972) to her seminal work The Handmaid's Tale (1985) to the more recent MaddAddam trilogy (comprising the novels Oryx and Crake (2003), The Year of the Flood (2009) and MaddAddam (2013)), Atwood has commented on and criticized humanity's treatment of nature as something to be dominated and beaten into submission. In the context of the current cultural and environmental crisis the world is experiencing, this paper will analyze Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy through the lens of ecocriticism and examine how closely her vision of eco-dystopia reflects the current state of affairs in the world.

Abstract:

Abstract Literary scholars in recent years have endowed institutions with tremendous explanatory power, insisting that these social formations exercise a determining influence on cultural production. The fiction that institutions can impose themselves as coherent subjects on cultural activity has its origins in the Progressive Era and persists today across a variety of social contexts beyond literary studies, surfacing even (and especially) in moments of institutional precarity. This essay examines three such moments: the losing football games in Owen Johnson’s early campus novel Stover at Yale (1912) and Don DeLillo’s postwar experimental novel End Zone (1972) and Jay M. Smith and Mary Willingham’s exposé of the athletics scandals at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Cheated (2015). The fact that the institutional analysis of End Zone and the institutional critique of Cheated so closely resemble the celebration of institutions in Stover at Yale—the fact that the progressive fiction of institutional subjecthood has reasserted itself even when writers like DeLillo, Smith, and Willingham set out to denaturalize it—reflects the fundamental inadequacy of recent critical attempts to fathom literary history at the scale of the institution.
